Own Goal
This Own Goal Is Cruel But Also Kind Of Awesome
Fankaty Dabo is spending this season at Vitesse Arnhem on loan from Chelsea (one of his back-line mates is American international and fellow Chelsea loanee Matt Miazga), and one thing he has shown is he DEFINITELY has the touch.
Look at this: the weight, the placement. It's beautiful.
The Own Goal That Helped Send Senegal To The World Cup Was Properly Stupid
Senegal qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia by beating South Africa 2-0 in a World Cup qualification replay on Friday. For the second goal, South Africa capitulated in perhaps the most painful way possible: the shambolic own goal.

Watch The Most Hilarious Own Goals Of All-Time
Hilarious own goals are a tragedy for the player who scores them. It's arguably even worse for goalkeepers as they are the only players on the field allowed to use their hands. In spite of this, however, they sometimes manage to score the most remarkable, unexplainable own goals.
This week, 18-year-old Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar scored a really unfortunate own goal when the Eagles faced Manchester United in the Champions League.
Most Ridiculous Own Goals
He Tried To Clear It For A Corner But Ended Up Scoring The Own Goal Of A Lifetime
Languishing near the bottom of the Portuguese Primeira Liga table, heading into the break at 1-1 with S.C. Braga would’ve represented an exceptional 45 minutes of football for C.D. Tondela on Sunday. However, just on the stroke of halftime, Braga struck the crossbar before Tondela defender Ricardo Costa smashed the rebound into his own net.
King Arturo Is Now King Of Rocket Ship Headed Own Goals
Arturo Vidal is one of the best midfielders in the world. He can do pretty much everything on the field. There is no skill that escapes him, although we would struggle to describe any one skill of his as "great."
Except for rocket ship header own goals, of course. Check out this beauty from Chile's 3-0 loss to Paraguay Thursday.

The Europa League Is Just As Good As The Champions League, In Terms Of Funny Own Goals
On Tuesday, Swiss club Young Boys scored an excruciating last-minute own goal to lose 1-0 to CSKA Moscow in a Champions League playoff. On Thursday, Turkish club Fenerbahce showed the Europa League's standard of own goal is just as high as the Champions League's.
Heartbreaking 91st Minute Own Goal Costs Swiss Club In Champions League
Warning: This video is heartbreaking for everyone but CSKA Moscow fans. In the 91st minute of a scoreless Champions League playoff first leg between CSKA and Swiss club Young Boys, defender Kasim Adams Nuhu attempted to head the ball back to his keeper. Only his keeper was already coming out to receive the ball.
You can guess what happened next.
Is this the worst way to lose a game in stoppage time you've ever seen?
